Dennis Kearney was quoted in an article,"GWB Defendants Face Tough Appeal Over Jury Instruction," in Law360. In the article, Kearney says that the defense counsel could make a strong argument on appeal challenging the jury instruction in connection with those two counts involving the conspiracy to misuse Port Authority resources and the conspiracy to deprive Fort Lee residents of their civil right. While motive is not an element of any crime, retaliation against the Fort Lee mayor appears to be an element of those two counts. "The grand jury went out of its way to name the object of the conspiracy," said Kearney. "This doesn't look like the motive to me."

Steven Cash was interviewed live on MSNBC by anchor Richard Lui. Cash discussed reporting by The New York Times that White House Counsel Donald McGahn has had interviews totaling 30 hours over the past nine months in connection with the Mueller investigation.
